Sorry for the AI answer but it does look possible.

The confusion in image.png stems from the difference between what the Linux kernel can do versus what specific audio servers like PulseAudio support. The “real answer” is that Tabooki2 is technically correct, but crimson_iris is correct regarding a specific (and common) software limitation. Here is the breakdown: The Short Answer Yes, Linux can bitstream/passthrough Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, but you have to use the right audio architecture. If you use PulseAudio, it will fail (as shown in the wiki snippet in image.png). If you use PipeWire or bypass the sound server entirely (using ALSA directly), it works perfectly. Why the conflict exists in image.png The debate in the screenshot is a classic “it depends on your stack” scenario: The PulseAudio Limitation: As noted in the wiki link in image.png, PulseAudio was never designed to handle the high-bandwidth “packets” required for lossless passthrough like TrueHD or DTS-MA. It tries to “help” by processing audio, which breaks the raw bitstream needed for your receiver to see “Atmos.” The PipeWire Solution: Most modern Linux distributions (like Fedora, Ubuntu, or Arch) have moved to PipeWire. PipeWire does support passthrough for these formats much more effectively. The ALSA “Direct” Method: For home theater PC (HTPC) apps like Kodi or Plex HTPC, you can often set the audio output device to “ALSA (Direct)” or “HDA Intel HDMI.” This bypasses the desktop sound server entirely and sends the raw data straight to the HDMI port, which is exactly what Tabooki2 describes. How to get it working If you are setting up a Linux-based media center and want that “Atmos” light to turn on your receiver: Check your Sound Server: Ensure you are running PipeWire instead of PulseAudio. Application Settings: In software like Kodi, go to Settings > System > Audio. Enable “Allow Passthrough.” Select the specific formats your receiver supports (TrueHD, DTS-HD, etc.). Kernel Support: Since you are managing complex home server stacks with Docker and Portainer, ensure your containerized media apps have direct access to the /dev/snd hardware devices to avoid software-layer interference. Summary: The information from Tabooki2 is the ultimate truth of the hardware capability, while the note from crimson_iris is a valid warning for users stuck on older PulseAudio configurations.

Do you change the channel to the sport that is on? That’s what IPTV is.

How much different is your experience?

IPTV streams in HD and you can record shows on a schedule to watch later.

Understood. Most of my time was with large companies where lots of people want to move up the ladder. Still very team oriented but also tried to stand out to get up a few rungs. Always willing to help out, jumping in where applicable to help solve problems that aren’t in my area, sticking around during disasters etc etc

Bitstreaming/passthrough for lossless formats like Dolby TrueHD (including Atmos) and DTS-HD Master Audio (including DTS:X) works perfectly on Linux.Linux does not natively decode Dolby Atmos or DTS:X because it lacks the commercial licenses to process the spatial metadata. However, Linux excels at HDMI Audio Passthrough. Instead of processing the audio, your Linux machine treats the uncompressed bitstream like a raw data package and forwards it directly to your AV receiver via HDMI. The receiver recognizes the signal and handles the heavy decoding lifting.

Stremio, debrid and a good IPTV provider will get you everything for a year at less than Netflix costs for a month or two.

Very true but you can still succeed without education if you’re willing to put in the time and effort. I’ve had a few different successful careers over my life and none of them were related to my little education. In my experience critical thinking and social skills play the biggest role

You’re competing because the best, hardest working person usually gets the most pay. Feel free to jump in and volunteer but that doesn’t pay the bills

That’s all right. You don’t need an education to get a good job. You just need a skill that’s in demand. Time to become an expert in something you enjoy.

Ah so working hard makes you a bootlicker. Gotcha.

Enjoy your poverty.

Yeah, but that only proves to an employer that you’re able to learn. Once you get in the door then you have to climb and compete

Education is not the same thing as relentless hard working and drive

Instead of blaming them for struggling and saving maybe you should do the same

As of early 2026, Millennials (ages 30–45) and Gen Z (ages 18–29) together make up nearly 40% of the eligible voting block in Canada. While Baby Boomers (ages 61–80) remain a potent force, they no longer hold the single largest share of the electorate.

Btw the boomers are dying fast. Then it’s all yours.

Maybe that generation should do something about it. Get elected. Change things.

As it should be. Same as you pay for schools if you have no kids.

And you believe this is the truth.

Nice non answer

And yours is based on???

Are you saying you don’t believe in the treatment of wighurs
